under the invisible coffee table with invisible legos around it
Starfleet replicators here we come
or a replicator like in star trek.
I'd take it and ditch school.
The microwave didn't make the food itself. :/
I need a replicator like in Star Trek.. I have a feeling we may be getting closer… but until i can just basically tell the replicator what I want regardless of what it is and get it I will never be satisfied.. :F
You mean when they closed the cabinet and they opened it it had a lot of food? Yeah, me too.
in a couple of millenia, don't worry
I would we a perv
By not losting them, once you create one, or just make it so big you find it without seeing it.
My invisibility cloak dropped… I cant find it anymore :(
Like this comment if you have the same problem.
I'd run around grabbing people inappropriately.
fucking youtube keeps fucking freezing on google chrome.
No, because that kind of power doesn't belong in civilian hands.
Keep them inside out when you're not using them
Wow. That would be cool… Except the goverment could get into our homes and spy on us. Robbers, Theifs, Rapists, terrorists….yikes. But if I had one, I would sneak around the neighborhood in it.
wind my mates up and scare people
i had a stainless steel 3D printer at work… just saying
I would just prank the shit out of everyone. Nothing constructive, nothing important. Just pranks XD
One cloack that might would work is that it would bend light around itself
How would we know if the 3D printer was working or not?
… the things I could do with this… invisible Nerf bullets, invisible Nerf guns, invisible water balloons… invisible pockets for keys… (yeah I'm mature (compared to what my friends would do))
I was thinking more deadly assassin than locker room.
I would sneak out of class
Well, in Harry Potter, when the Invisibility Cloak is not being worn, there is a pattern of moons and stars on the cloak. In the movie, when Harry's wearing his cloak, he sees the material while inside.
Soooo…. When's Discovery Channel suing you for infringement I wonder…..
DO NOT READ THIS! If you're reading this then your parent is going to die in 5 years. To undo this curse paste on 5 videos good luck. I can't risk it
be a more stealthy assassin than Connor Kenway with his wolf cloak on and the rest i cant be mature about
shit just got real people, WHERE'S WALLY NOW!
i like this guy the best.Â
I would go mad, and be a rapist/murderer/conspiracy revealer.Â
I would sneak into north korea, nuke a small town in russia or somewhere, and get nk nuked to oblivion.
Oh the things I would do with a invisibility cloak : )
Go on a looting frenzy.
I would sneak into the restricted section of the library and read the old books!
Use public showers without being seen!!!
Should have figured the video was clickbait.
"Hey you can become invisible with 3d printing! (but only to radar…)
This is why I unsubscribed from you dickwads.
i can not even microwave popcorn right myself.sorta
IF INVISIBILITY WAS POSSIBLE… SHHHHHHHHHH! I BE A MEMBER OF THE C.I.A. TO HAVE THE BLOODY JOB OF DESTROYING EVIL DOERS FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH… MAYBE MY DREAM COME TRUE!!!
Nice shave.
Printed out invisibility cloak, put cloak on, walk into bank with an empty backpack, walk out of bank with full backpack. Donate to the homeless, and random people to ensure that the literal paper trail is difficult to follow.
First, let's make 3d printers available at a lower price.
Isn't there also Chameleon effect where they can adapt to change to their surroundings.
It's not you, its the popcorn.
Four more years.
OMG I'm watching 2016 and i thought this was a new video theta the end he says 3D printers are limited, me – "hmm 2013? 2012? this is not a new video
How about tiny cameras that take the image in back of you to show up on roll up screens you wear in front of you and visa versa?
Thats an April fools joke
